2021 New Zealand U20s

@stargazer Paea is a halfback, Evans a midfielder. No idea about Peters either.

@stargazer Paea was the no.9 for the Blues and for NZSS.
@taniwharugby Don't know, but was 2nd 5 this year. -

@taniwharugby 2 Kaitaia boys who could feature in the Taniwha jersey in the future Te Paea Cook Savage and Corey Evans ,Cook Savage could be sooner then we think 😜

I've seen two lineups (one schoolboy, one club) that show Peters as playing blindside. I wonder if that means Gardiner was selected as a lock.

Props (LH or TH?)
Sione Ahio (Auckland)(TH?) TH
Josh Fusitua (Auckland) LH
Jack Sexton (Canterbury) LH
Joseph Gavigan (Manawatū) LH
Luca Inch ( Ta$man)(TH)Sexton hasn't really impressed me at the top level when I've seen him play but his old man knows the right people.
This U20 squad has the tallest locks that I can remember. A good thing for the future.
Out of interest, only 10 of the 2019 NZ Schools team are in this squad, along with 4 from the NZ Barbarians Schools team.

Peters was in the original Chiefs U20 squad so must have been injured before Taupo. He was also part of the Taranaki squad for the Chiefs Country Centurion Cup in March.

Still no exact dates; only that it's an abbreviated tournament (I assume, because Fiji and/or Japan aren't participating) and that it's taking place on the GC.Rebels flyhalf Carter Gordon headlines the Junior Wallabies' 31-man squad set to take part in the upcoming Oceania Rugby tournament on the Gold Coast.
Within the squad, there are 11 professional contracted players across the five National Academies and Sevens program, with Gordon joined by Reds duo Kalani Thomas and Mac Grealy and Brumbies lock Tom Hooper.
“A handful of players with Super Rugby experience will add to the academy and club players from across Australia.
The squad will head into camp on June 27 in Queensland before playing in the tournament in early July.

Lucas Brooke, Zinzan's son, starts for England U20s at seven in the first 6N game against France today (well UK today anyway).
Has clearly impressed in the warm up games they've had behind closed doors as he wasn't in the setup at all at U18s.

@bovidae I'd like them to publish the updated squad list, too. I know the list published earlier, isn't the final squad. Heard this from the mother of one of the players who was injured during the SRA U20s tournament, who said that there was still a small chance her son would make it into the squad.

That game was based on an earlier post by @Canes4life about Wellington's preseason. There is a NZR Next Generation FB page which may have some info.

All is clear now. The WRR's website says "cancelled" because the game has been moved to Palmerston North!
The game will now be played at CET Arena. Kick-off is at 2.30pm.Wellington Rugby has posted their first and second half line-ups:
I haven't been able to find any news about the NZ U20s.
